Question 2 • VT-SC-WIN Ready to Work Assessment: Applied Math

You work in the quality-assurance department for a bottling company. A water bottle is supposed to contain 750 milliliters (mL) of water, and the company sets a tolerance of ±5 mL.What is the least amount of water that is considered acceptable?

Answer
A
740 mL
B
745 mL
C
750 mL
D
755 mL
E
760 mL

Explanation

A tolerance of ±5 mL means the amount may be 5 mL less or 5 mL more than the target of 750 mL. The least acceptable amount is 750 − 5 = 745 mL, so the correct choice is 745 mL.
